While making a case for her party to investigate the conduct of its Georgetown District election, People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) member Annette Ferguson also called on it to “rise to the occasion of practising fairness, honesty” and “being democratic when it comes to its internal business or affairs”.
Ferguson’s call came after she lost the bid for the chairmanship of the Georgetown District – the party’s largest support base – at its October 2 conference. She has since written to the party’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) protesting the conduct of the elections and calling for an investigation.
The position of Chair of the Georgetown District was held by senior PNCR member Volda Lawrence for a number of years. Lawrence was also the Chair of the PNCR and served as a government minister when the APNU+AFC coalition was in power.
